MPEGStremClip does something on boot and it still plays fine.. anywhere I go, everything is in sync..

Export and it all goes to shred.
I tried exporting video first which gave me 18:59 seconds..
Then I exported video on its own and it was 19:21 seconds.

So clearly mpegstreamclip is doing something upon boot which is allowing it to play properly but as soon as I export it all goes down the tubes. Like I said, when I open in mpegstreamclip it says, we need to fix a time code error. We do that and it works. I have even been able to export into a a new MPEG which will play in VLC with working sound and in sync, but when I bring that into FCP, the sound is gone.

I'll try in the Windows environment.

I cant post the video as a torrent as I promised the originator it wouldnt be leaked out anywhere.. But I'm looking for help, a nice cold beer in the form of paypal for anyone who can help me solve riddle.

Try videoredo Plus for windows(I wish they had an OSX version). I had similar problems with a video recording done on XP machine.

Use QuickStream Fix in VideoReDo Plus. If the problem is not solved in the first attempt then go to settings and change the Audio Frame error settings. Try all the three settings and see if you get lucky with any one of them.

It is not free but I think you can use it for a week or two in the trial mode.

BTW what is the source of the movie? Is it a TV recording, DVD rip or what?
